Cost centre invisible in fi doc

[vinay_h]

whats happening is this. ME23N (display purchase order) has a G/L account number and Cost centre assigned to it, But somewhere during the process of the invoice being posted the cost centre is lost and not recorded in FI doc.

Pls help its urgent...

Hi Vinay,

In whole purchase cylce, the FI gets updated only from The time of Goods receipts. when you create Purchse order and update Cost Centre the FI in either case not hit. Post a goods receipt and when the document is posted check you will definitely see cost centre as cost object assisgnemnt.

Do think this answer deserve points?

Decide, good luck

I can't check the TCODE ME23N, but, if you are looking in the FI document and you dont see the cost center, maybe you try to change the layout and introduce this field, too. (This is the case when somebody filled the field in ME23N but I dont think that ME23N generates FI documents!!!

hi Vinay,

I am not sure what you are missing, purchase orders do not post into FI (the invoice does!). Even into Co only commitment is posted.

Hi EC,

When invoice is posted using MIRO the cost centre is not recorded and the same is not reflecting in FI Doc.

Hope this is clear.

yes, it is clear now.

it is really interesting...

can you check if in CO you can see the amount (in KSB1 for example)

and in FI (FBL3N for example) you can't?

[vinay_h]

Yes,

I can see the entire document in fbl3n but in cost centre column field is blank.

is this PO about buyoing some goods or services?

[vinay_h]

Obviously PO has to be raised for buying goods or services...

But why is it happening like this... sounds very confusing.

yes, that is the question: goods or services?

in case of services you post in MIRO:

credit - vendor

debit - whatever cost account ==> there should be cost center here

in case of goods you post

1. MIGO

debit - material account ==> there could be cost center here (however I am not sure how much sense does is make)

credit - GR/IR account

2. MIRO

credit - vendor

debit - GR/IR account

(should not be cost center involved in this posting)

(could be lines for tax as well, but that is not important now)
